Ksoup lite Variant with Zero Dependencies

[itboy87]

We aim to develop a lightweight variant of the Ksoup library to cater to users who need minimal dependencies. This variant will be ideal for scenarios where file or network parsing is not required, only from string parsing. The primary goal is to streamline the library by eliminating unnecessary dependencies while maintaining core functionality.

Proposed Changes

1. Implement SourceReader with ByteArray

• Develop a SourceReader class that operates directly with ByteArray. Ensure that the new SourceReader eliminates the need for the IO library. #76

2. Remove Charset Decoder

• Remove the charset decoder functionality from the core library.
• Add this functionality as a separate dependency.
  Reference: Issue Modularize Charset Decoder Implementation and Remove ktor-io dep from ksoup-core #66 for more details.

3. Remove Network Dependencies and Implement String.resolveOrNull in Pure Kotlin

• Remove network-related dependencies from the library.
• Implement a String.resolveOrNull function in pure Kotlin to handle URL resolution.
  Reference: Issue Remove ktor-http Dependency from ksoup-core by Implementing String.resolveOrNull in Pure Kotlin #65 for more details.

4. Implement CodePoint in Pure Kotlin

• Create a pure Kotlin implementation for CodePoint & remove the external dependency for CodePoint.
  Reference: Issue Create a pure Kotlin implementation for CodePoint & remove the external dependency for CodePoint. #74 for more details.

Dependencies

• The only remaining dependency after these changes will be stately-current, which may be considered for removal in future updates.
